Teachers’ Perspectives on Cyberbullying: A Cross-Cultural Study | output | 1 | 77,294 | 40 | 231,473 |
The aim of this work is to analyze the perceptions of Colombian, Spanish, and Ecuadorian teachers regarding cyberbullying from a cross-cultural perspective. A descriptive and analytical method was used with a quantitative approach and 240 teachers answered an ad hoc questionnaire. Most teachers in the three countries say that they do not know how to deal with this type of bullying and have not received training in this respect, with the percentages in the three countries being very similar. Spanish teachers have the highest percentage of lack of concern about cyberbullying and Colombian teachers are the ones who admit to having had the most cases of cyberbullying. In terms of reaction, the majority acted, but among those who did not, Ecuadorian teachers did not due to lack of knowledge. Forced by the pandemic to teach their classes online, teachers are increasingly concerned about cyberbullying. For the three countries, it is considered necessary to take measures in terms of legislating specific protocols to deal with cyberbullying at school and that the training plans for the degrees that give access to this profession include the competencies that allow teachers to develop appropriate strategies to respond to cyberbullying. | input | 2 | 77,294 | 40 | 231,474 |

Effectiveness and satisfaction of technology‐mediated learning during global crisis: understanding the role of pre-developed videos | output | 1 | 77,390 | 40 | 231,761 |
Purpose: In today’s dynamic situation, innumerable challenges are posited in the education sector because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher educational institutes (HEIs) are compelled to adopt digital technologies and technology-mediated learning in the teaching-learning processes. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors affecting learning effectiveness, learning satisfaction and the mediating role of prerecorded videos from the learners’ perspective. Design/methodology/approach: A self-designed structured questionnaire based on previous similar studies is adopted as a survey instrument. It consists of 22 questions to address the five constructs of the proposed hypothesized conceptual model, developed for the study. Data of 311 students from HEIs of Maharashtra state in India were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis is carried out to test the model fitness, reliability and validity, and structural equation modeling is applied to conduct path analysis and hypotheses testing of the model. Findings: Hypotheses testing reveals that perceived usefulness (PU) significantly affects the perceived learning effectiveness, which again affects the learning satisfaction of the students. In addition, perceived ease of use affects the PU as suggested in the technology acceptance model. The prerecorded videos have a moderating role to play in the computer self-efficacy and the perceived learning effectiveness of the students. This research will provide meaningful acumen to enhance the overall learning process among students in urban as well as rural India. Originality/value: This study explores the technology-mediated learning during the unexpected and dynamic situations of the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of higher education in India. For sustainable use of technology-assisted learning, educators must understand the key factors that influence students’ learning effectiveness and satisfaction. The research outcomes will lead toward developing the human capacities, as the prerecorded videos at the HEIs of India will provide new approaches for effectively adopting digital technologies and technology-mediated learning. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited. | input | 2 | 77,390 | 40 | 231,762 |

The development of an entrepreneurial mindset at a HBCU during a pandemic | output | 1 | 77,394 | 40 | 231,773 |
Over the years, African American leaders and entrepreneurs have been preaching the gospel of preparing students at Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to have an entrepreneurial mindset. The entrepreneurial mindset concept at an HBCU is at an early stage of development. As a result, the concept lacks rigorous theoretical foundations to adapt. The goal of this chapter is to introduce a conceptual change intelligence approach to explain the factors leading to the evolution of the way that an entrepreneurial mindset is developed in an HBCU. The conceptual change intelligence approach draws upon the Input-Process-Output (IPO) Model. In this chapter, the authors postulate that to develop an entrepreneurial mindset (output), the environment (process) in which the student (input) resides must be changed. This chapter is intended to highlight how an HBCU student environment can assist the students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset during COVID-19. © 2021, IGI Global. | input | 2 | 77,394 | 40 | 231,774 |

Synchronous and Asynchronous English Writing Classes in the EFL Context: Students' Practices and Benefits | output | 1 | 77,897 | 40 | 233,282 |
Synchronous and asynchronous classes were implemented by universities around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) engaged in multiple practices when attending English writing classes in both modes. However, the practices they engaged in and the benefits they perceived were reportedly of limited benefit. This study asks: What are the practices of students that emerge during synchronous and asynchronous English writing classes? What are the benefits of synchronous and asynchronous English writing classes from the student's perspective? Group and one-to-one interviews were conducted with twelve students majoring in computer science and information technology at a Saudi university. Thematic analysis revealed that students engage in practices including using the split view on iPads, opening additional windows to search for information, searching using smartphone apps, and writing notes and highlighting key concepts when attending English writing classes regardless of learning mode. It also revealed that synchronous classes offered students real-time communication and provided immediate feedback, while asynchronous classes allowed students to navigate the challenges of distance learning, complementing the synchronous English writing classes and providing students with a sense of security. This paper concludes by advising language teachers to record synchronous classes, raise students' awareness of the benefits of attending both types of classes and encourage students to apply practices reported by previous students to maximize their English language learning. | input | 2 | 77,897 | 40 | 233,283 |

@thermogramer: Thermal Imaging as a Tool for Science Communication and E-Learning in Social Media | output | 1 | 77,932 | 40 | 233,387 |
The COVID-19 pandemic boosted the presence of thermal cameras in our society. These devices are becoming cheaper and smaller and can even be plugged in our smartphones. Therefore, soon enough everybody will have access to these instruments. Thermal cameras have been widely used for industrial, research and/or academic purposes. Now, in the rise of the online era, this work proposes and assesses a new application for such devices as visual engaging tools for science communication and e-learning in social media. Here, we introduce @thermogramer as a science communication channel that shows multispectral (optical and thermal) images of daily life objects to explain the science behind different topics of social interest (climate change, emerging technologies, health, and popular traditions). This young project is already present in social media, press, TV and museum's exhibitions, and its designed content have been already useful for new inexperienced users, science educators and communicators. | input | 2 | 77,932 | 40 | 233,388 |

Teaching Data Science in a Synchronous Online Introductory Course at a Business School – A Case Study | output | 1 | 78,054 | 40 | 233,753 |
Data literacy can be improved by teaching data science methods and tools. Both method-kit and tool-kit are eclectic and interdisciplinary, posing potential threats for students’ understanding and motivation, especially at a business school where the focus is not on IT. We found that a broad spectrum of methods and tools can be helpful, rather than a hindrance, when teaching data science to absolute beginners. This case study investigates how teaching and learning workflows can be improved when systematically deploying a wide array of digital tools in an introductory online data science class at a large German business school, taught in the winter term of 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The class was offered to all students of the school as part of the extracurricular program. Several such tools were selected, introduced, and used, with a special emphasis on tools to enhance teaching and learning productivity in and between live sessions. Tools included: the GitHub global code repository, the Emacs editor with ESS and Org-Mode markdown, Kahoot! Games, screencasting, video tutorials and podcasts, external assignment tools like DataCamp and Celonis, and a Moodle platform to pull all of these together. Participation and explicit student feedback were very positive and have already initiated curricular changes at the school. In this paper, the course rationale, goals, content, tools, and preliminary findings are presented and discussed, and an outlook for further research is given. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. | input | 2 | 78,054 | 40 | 233,754 |

Reflecting on Responsible Conduct of Research: A Self Study of a Research-Oriented University Community | output | 1 | 78,108 | 40 | 233,915 |
Research-oriented universities are known for prolific research activity that is often supported by students in faculty-guided research. To maintain ethical standards, universities require on-going training of both faculty and students to ensure Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). However, previous research has indicated RCR-based training is insufficient to address the ethical dilemmas that are prevalent within academic settings: navigating issues of authorship, modeling relationships between faculty and students, minimization of risk, and adequate informed consent. U.S. universities must explore ways to identify and improve RCR concerns for current (faculty) and future researchers (students). This article reports the findings of a self-study (N = 50) of research stakeholders (students and faculty) at a top tier research institution. First, we report on their perceived importance of applying RCR principles. Second, we explore relationships between stakeholder backgrounds (e.g., prior training, field, and position) and how they ranked the degree of ethical concerns in fictitious vignettes that presented different unethical issues university students could encounter when conducting research. Vignette rankings suggested concerns of inappropriate relationships, predatory authorship and IRB violations which were judged as most unethical, which was dissimilar to what sampled researchers reported in practice as the most important RCR elements to understand and adhere to for successful research. Regression models indicated there was no significant relationship between individuals’ vignette ethics scores and backgrounds, affirming previous literature suggesting that training can be ineffectual in shifting researcher judgments of ethical dilemmas. Recommendations for training are discussed. | input | 2 | 78,108 | 40 | 233,916 |

Casefinder: A Non-Law Students Smartphone App for Legal Writing | output | 1 | 78,183 | 40 | 234,140 |
Law subjects are not meant just for law students. Some universities around the world require students to register for law subjects to graduate. Malaysia is in a similar situation. Students enrolled in courses such as Bachelor of Accountancy, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Public Administration, and Bachelor of Sports Science must register for required law subjects to complete the course. All students studying law must be able to read legal cases. Legal cases are important for legal writing. A good legal writing must be supported by legal cases. Traditionally, these legal cases can be found in the library. Nowadays, students may also lookup for legal cases on the internet by using Google. In Malaysia, a few websites offer access to legal cases, such as The Malayan Law Journal (mlj), The Malaysian Current Law Journal (clj), and eLaw, to name a few. The cases found on these websites are cases that include lengthy facts and judgment. For these non-law students, the large volume of cases on the internet and lengthy cases is challenging. They need assistance to understand the cases as well as finding the most relevant legal cases. This research aims to create an application (app) that will assist non-law students in finding the most pertinent legal cases to their issues at hand. The cases stored in the app are cases that the authors have summarized. Summarization is done to ensure that the non-law students understand cases very well. In this study, the waterfall methodology was used, which is a common software development process. The study developed an app which is called CaseFinder. The most challenging aspect of creating the software was making it user-friendly for non-law students. As a result, the app is limited to only five areas of law which are the most relevant to non-law students' subjects. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia, the government has mandated that all universities conduct online distance learning (ODL). The study is a preliminary study to help non-law students It is high time for the app to be introduced to reduce the possibility of interference in everyday teaching and learning. It is submitted the newly developed app is able to guide non-law students in their law classes. © 2021 ACM. | input | 2 | 78,183 | 40 | 234,141 |

Adoption of virtual reality technology in higher education: An evaluation of five teaching semesters in a purpose-designed laboratory | output | 1 | 78,688 | 40 | 235,655 |
Virtual and augmented (VAR) technology is in the early stages of being adopted as a teaching platform in higher education. The technology can facilitate immersive learning in environments that are not usually physically accessible to students via 3D models and interactive 360° videos. To date, adoption rates of VAR technology for teaching have not been well described across a higher education institution. Further, there is an absence of information on the optimal VAR laboratory designs and cost per student. In this study, a purpose designed virtual reality laboratory was formed in 2017 at The University of Sydney, housing 26 Oculus Rift headset units. An evaluation was conducted on the design, costs, rates of teaching adoption and student experiences over five teaching periods (2.5 years). Over this period, 4833 students were taught in the laboratory across 7952 student visits. The laboratory was used most by the Faculty of Engineering (53%), followed by the Faculty of Arts & Social Science (23.8%) and Faculty of Science (23.2%). For engineering, the units of study using the laboratory represented only 1.4% of annual faculty subjects offered. This confirms that adoption was in the initial stage of innovation diffusion. The laboratory saw a 250% increase in student numbers over the period of evaluation and 71.5% of students surveyed (n = 295) reported enhanced learning outcomes. The cost per visit was only AU$ 19.50. These findings give confidence to higher education institutions that the right VAR technology infrastructure is a sound educational investment for the future.

Latin American Professors' Research Culture in the Digital Age | output | 1 | 78,740 | 40 | 235,811 |
The processes of social confinement caused by the global health crisis (COVID-19), have forced professors to assume new research competencies that allow them to improve science indicators and contribute to the research culture in the digital era for the Latin American region. This article analyzes the research culture of Latin American professors in 20 countries in the digital era, and their relationship with the production of scientific papers indexed in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) between 1996 and 2019. A questionnaire (with validity and reliability criteria) with a Likert-type scale was applied to 2,215 professors selected from five international scientific events. The main results show that 78% of the professors have less than 15 years of teaching experience, with ages under 44 years of age and 38.9% of them with an undergraduate academic level, 62.5% of whom responded that they have never published in indexed journals, and that they do not know the proper application of paradigms and research designs. On the other hand, 23.86% of the total citations are self-citations. Therefore, the results reflect a significant relationship between the research culture of professors and Latin American scientific production. Finally, Latin American professors have found themselves in economic, political and social circumstances that affect good research and scientific publication practices, leaving a training gap in research competencies in the new digital era. | input | 2 | 78,740 | 40 | 235,812 |

Reviewing the Literature on Professional Development for Higher Education Tutors in the Work-From-Home Era: Is it Time to Reconsider the Integration of Social Media? | output | 1 | 78,802 | 40 | 235,997 |
Set in the context of higher education, this paper focuses on professional development-related challenges faced by teachers and specifically how these difficulties have been exacerbated by the recent Work-From-Home policy. The study investigates how the integration of social media into educators’ professional development plans can support tutors in this new status quo and prepare them for similar situations in the future. A systematic review of literature, based on a methodological instrument called PRISMA, identified 28 relevant articles for detailed analysis from an initial pool of 65. This revealed that social media-enabled professional development should be promoted across universities. The benefits include social media’s potential to provide tutors with a bespoke experience, that is specific to their evolving needs. Also notable, is social media’s potential to clear physical and temporal hurdles, resulting in a significantly more extensive professional learning network. This leads to faculty who are likely to reap the benefits of networked learning, by using social media as the infrastructure through which to establish a higher volume of more geographically dispersed connections to like-minded individuals. Institutions will need to tackle hurdles, namely faculty resistance to using this novel platform, as well as the anxiety of participating in open online spaces. This should be addressed by pacing the integration of social media-enabled professional development and by blending it with the more established practice of face-to-face workshops. This hybrid model will provide time and support for sceptical teachers to make the transition towards the integration of social media into their PD. | input | 2 | 78,802 | 40 | 235,998 |

The Attitudes of MTUN Students towards m-Learning Usage during COVID-19 Pandemic | output | 1 | 78,862 | 40 | 236,177 |
Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is an online Teaching and Learning (T&L) method that has been implemented to all educational institutions in Malaysia to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to identify the attitude level of Malaysian Technical University Network (MTUN) students towards the Mobile Learning (M-learning) usage in ODL methods during the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The total number of respondents involved was 481 engineering students from four MTUN institutions. The study design used is quantitative which uses a questionnaire as a research instrument. The questionnaire used measures three elements of students' attitudes in the aspect of affective, behavior and cognitive towards M-learning implementation. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics involving the use of mean and standard deviation while inferential statistics involved One-way ANOVA analysis. Result shows that attitudes level of MTUN students towards M-learning was at moderate level for two (2) aspects of affective and cognitive while the behavior aspect was rated at high level. Meanwhile, the result of one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between the attitudes of student towards ODL across year of studies. Therefore, it can be concluded that the students of MTUN institutions had positive attitudes towards the implementation of M-learning with year of study in the university does not have influence on student’s attitude towards M-learning environment. It is advisable that the use of M-learning in the future needs to be enriched with the features of 21st century learning as to enhance students learning experiences. © 2022 by the authors. | input | 2 | 78,862 | 40 | 236,178 |

Objective. This paper aims to investigate the types and scope of community engagement and outreach activities of academic libraries while the physical library spaces remain closed or operating on a limited capacity. It also looks at the tools and methods employed to implement such activities. The paper also attempts to uncover patterns or emerging themes as libraries explore innovative ideas and take new initiatives for the betterment of the community they serve. Methods. The study employs a website and Facebook page survey of AUN (ASEAN University Network) Inter-Library Online (AUNILO) member-libraries. The following six outreach categories will be utilized: (1) Collection-Based Outreach;(2) Instruction & Services-Based Outreach;(3) “Whole Person” Outreach;(4) Just for Fun Outreach;(5) Partnerships and Community-Focused Outreach;and (6) Multi-Pronged Themed Events and Programming. Said categories were derived from Farrell and Mastel (2016) paper entitled “Considering Outreach Assessment: Strategies, Sample Scenarios, And A Call to Action.” Results. Findings of the study will offer some insights on how libraries strengthen their roles in transforming societies as they provide opportunities to bring about positive change in their communities. Moreover, this paper will also challenge libraries to take a closer look at their own activities and consider how they can design creative and inspiring ways to connect with their communities. Conclusions. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, libraries are proactively pivoting their community engagement and outreach efforts online and are finding new ways to serve faculty, students, and partners. Libraries are committed to strengthening the resilience and recovery of the community through working collaboratively with its members and building partnerships with relevant organizations. © J.

Doing Better: Addressing Community Educational Disparities through Student-Led Outreach. | output | 1 | 79,040 | 40 | 236,711 |
One of the many lessons we have learned over the last two years is that there is significant science illiteracy and mistrust in science in many US communities. The Purdue University undergraduate chapter of the American Society for Biochemistry (PU-ASBMB) has designed a service-learning outreach project that will further the ASBMB's and Purdue's goals of promoting equity and access to learning in the community, and engaging undergraduates in the social responsibilities of science communication. In the past, outreach efforts have achieved most positive feedback and engagement from schools that were already considered advantaged, or privileged. We hypothesize that because the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the preexisting racial and socioeconomic disparities present in underrepresented communities, there is an increased awareness of the knowledge- and opportunity-gaps faced by many marginalized members of our communities, both by student-members and by community stakeholders. Furthermore, we propose that this will create a need for more effective partnerships between Purdue University and the Greater Lafayette Community. Creating these partnerships is critical to addressing the disparities in access to science-related educational opportunities. The objective of this service-learning research project is to partner PU-ASBMB with the Greater Lafayette community to foster greater engagement with marginalized populations of K-8 students and their families. PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Based on our 2021 project proposal, the PU-ASBMB has succeeded in partnering with the Hanna Community Center's after-school program which involves 26 K-6th grade students from 7 schools in low-income districts (www.hannacntr.org). The mission of the Center is "to provide quality services, programs and community interactions for the surrounding neighborhood and beyond" and to "celebrate traditions throughout the Greater Lafayette area while preserving the culture, heritage and history of African Americans and minority groups." By integrating hands-on experiences aligned with statewide learning outcomes, conducting interviews, classroom observations, and reflections of students and staff, our program will be evaluated to further address the needs of those underrepresented in the Lafayette community, such as those raised in low-income families, as well as the Latinx, African American, and other marginalized populations. CONCLUSIONS: Drastically reframing the priorities of the PU-ASBMB has allowed us to effectively engage with populations within our community with whom we can have a significant impact. Immediate feedback from stakeholders, both at Purdue and at the Hanna Center indicate significant support for this program. These findings support the execution of sustainable service initiatives to provide targeted support for diverse students in the local community. Future work will include pursuing these outreach opportunities, while also educating the Purdue community on the importance of recognizing their responsibilities in giving back to, and supporting the Greater Lafayette Community, without which Purdue would not be a world-class higher institution for higher education. | input | 2 | 79,040 | 40 | 236,712 |

Engaging biochemistry students virtually utilizing problem-based learning and at home lab activities. | output | 1 | 79,076 | 40 | 236,819 |
The unprecedented 2020 COVID-19 pandemic prompted the rapid shift to online learning in higher education. For courses particularly in the natural sciences, this shift posed a challenge to adapt complex course material that relied on in-person demonstrations and hands-on laboratory experiences to successfully be mastered. Online learning continues grow in these fields where it was once limited. In this piece, we describe the rejuvenation of our problem-based learning Introduction to Biochemistry for students in a virtual environment. We utilized Zoom for engaging discussions between student-led discussion groups focused on their reading of primary literature, adapted labs with course content to enable them to be performed at home, and utilized the online format to connect with a scientist whose work we studied. In particular, our course centered around the mechanisms of antibiotics, beginning with Pasteur's discovery of fermentation and ending with present day papers deconvoluting the synthesis of bacterial peptidoglycan and how different antibiotics inhibit this pathway. Throughout the course, we were able to utilize the online format and at home labs to connect science to everyday life in different ways than traditional classroom learning. Students overall were engaged and enjoyed how this course was different than other online courses. Our observations provide guidance for how to improve future online-based science courses, particularly problem-based learning ones, to make them most effective for successful student learning. | input | 2 | 79,076 | 40 | 236,820 |

Second Life in Art and Design from Students' Perspective: a Case Study | output | 1 | 79,121 | 40 | 236,954 |
This article tried to determine the students' opininons related to the use of Second Life (SL) application in higher education art and design education. In this case study conducted with 17 students selected via typical case sampling, the SL virtual platform was used as a research area. Data collection tools were included document analysis, self-peer-process assessment, focus groups. Research data were analyzed with content analysis. Participants stated that the use of SL application in art and design education provides support for analysis of 3D programs, virtual exhibition opportunities and simple 3D modeling. Internet speed, slowness of computers, technical and build problems were the common difficulties experienced by the participants. Consequently, the participants' application skills, 3D thinking skills, design skills and creativity during the practise of the SL application improved. Despite some technical difficulties in understanding SL, it is thought that SL is a suitable environment for art and design education. Also, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the education activities, are conducted on virtual environments. Therefore, it is thought that SL will contribute to distance education by online learning. | input | 2 | 79,121 | 40 | 236,955 |

Measuring the impact of COVID-19 induced campus closure on student self-regulated learning in physics online learning modules | output | 1 | 79,150 | 40 | 237,041 |
This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 induced campus closure on university students' self-regulated learning behavior by analyzing click-stream data collected from student interactions with 70 online learning modules in a university physics course To do so, we compared the trend of six types of actions related to the three phases of self-regulated learning before and after campus closure and between two semesters We found that campus closure changed students' planning and goal setting strategies for completing the assignments, but didn't have a detectable impact on the outcome or the time of completion, nor did it change students' self-reflection behavior The results suggest that most students still manage to complete assignments on time during the pandemic, while the design of online learning modules might have provided the flexibility and support for them to do so © 2021 ACM | input | 2 | 79,150 | 40 | 237,042 |

A Synthesis of EFL Research in Chilean High Schools: Research Shortage or Research Opportunities? | output | 1 | 79,152 | 40 | 237,047 |
This article is a configurative literature review that aims to synthesize available research on English as a foreign language education, undertaken specifically in Chilean high-school settings. Drawing on a pre-COVID-19 research corpus, I identified a limited number of concordant accounts (n = 23) published during the last decade. I used a critical interpretive synthesis methodology which yielded three research fields ranging from didactics to socio-structural problematics. The synthesis shows that the research addresses curricular aspects devoid of socio-political and historical contexts, emphasizing primarily teachers' teaching tensions and challenges. Finally, I discuss the English as a foreign language research limitations and implications for the Chilean context, for which I suggest some innovations to broaden future inquiry critically. | input | 2 | 79,152 | 40 | 237,048 |

Supporting motivation in teams working remotely: The role of basic psychological needs | output | 1 | 79,170 | 40 | 237,101 |
The current disruptive and abrupt transition to remote activities that educational institutions are facing represents a major challenge for the entire academic community. While most concerns have centred on how learning activities may successfully transit from face-to-face to remote delivery, little attention has been given to how educators can be supported in this new unchartered territory. In this article, we discuss the crucial role of team leaders and how their management and leadership style may have great potential to support educators' motivation. Based on Self-determination Theory, we offer a framework through which team leaders may contribute to create optimal remote working environments for educators. We argue that educators' autonomous motivation depends on how they perceive their remote work environment as supportive of their basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness. Then, we highlight a series of practical recommendations by which team leaders may be more needs-supportive. Working from home requires space, trust, open communication and flexibility, especially considering that team members may have different clinical or personal circumstances. We therefore hope these suggestions are helpful to cultivate educators' autonomous motivation, which is beneficial not only for themselves but also for others in their institution, including their co-workers and students. | input | 2 | 79,170 | 40 | 237,102 |

Social values of students in conditions of digitalization of education and COVID-19 | output | 1 | 79,200 | 40 | 237,191 |
Introduction. During the COVID-19 pandemic variety of digital tools and technologies were demonstrated owing to the global digitalization of education and the total transition to online learning. The purpose of present research is to determine factors of digitalization of education and their effect on transformation of social values among high school students in conditions of the COVID-19. The results of research on social values of students were considered using comparative analysis. It was revealed that the paradigm of values among young people changed from an individual-personal one at the beginning of the XXI century to the social oriented paradigm - tolerance, openness, public recognition through social networks, self-development and contribution to the community. Materials and Methods. The analysis of pedagogical experience in the field of digitalization of education allowed to formulate the main factors of global digitalization of education and to highlight positive and negative aspects of online learning. According to M. Rokich's method, an empirical study of instrumental values transformations was carried out among 137 students of Ural Federal University in the conditions of full-time online learning. A questionnaire method was implemented to determine students' attitude to online learning during COVID-19 pandemic and possibility for further development of this form of learning. Results. It was revealed that only 13.7% of respondents did not notice any decrease in the quality of learning and did not experience discomfort in obtaining knowledge in online form. According to the students' opinion the values that are subjected to transformation are the following: efficiency, self-control, responsibility, honesty. It can be concluded that the era of network personality and new scientific knowledge in pedagogy has begun. Online learning is a fait accompli which requires scientific substantiation of a new didactics and social values system development among students in a digital education environment. Discussion and Conclusion. Achieved results contribute to ecological system of new digital services that change life and educational activities of a human, as well as transform his personality and values system. Thus, for the purpose of health and emotional intelligence preservation in students the continuation of interdisciplinary study of various aspects of education digitalization is required. © Rezer T.

It’s Virtually Summer, Can the Zoo Come to You? Zoo Summer School Engagement in an Online Setting | output | 1 | 79,336 | 40 | 237,599 |
Zoological collections are rapidly changing from a place of entertainment to centers of education. Many zoological collections run holiday and weekend clubs with activities aimed at inspiring and enthusing the next generation. The COVID-19 pandemic saw zoological collections across the world closing, leading a need for alternative educational content. Edinburgh Zoo, UK converted their summer school to a virtual provision. This provided a unique opportunity to determine the effectiveness of online zoological education by investigating if engagement levels differ for family groups when education is ‘live’, ‘recorded’ or ‘activity’ based. A total of 235 participants signed up for the Virtual Summer School, which comprised of 46 separate activities. Submissions, comments and polls were coded for content level and activity type. Results show that the overall engagement was higher for the live sessions compared to the recorded content;however, the content level was higher for activities. Content level increased over the week and there was a higher reported nature appreciation at the end of the Virtual Summer School. These findings provided evidence to suggest that online holiday zoo education can engage and inspire and gives insight on how to maximize the engagement and knowledge acquisition when using these online platforms. | input | 2 | 79,336 | 40 | 237,600 |
